With prom season over our heads, days are full of buzz about dresses, making groups and finding spots for pictures. But what if you’re not going to the dance? After asking 171 students if they are attending the dance, 46% said yes and 54% said no. For those uninterested, here are three ideas for activities off the dance floor. 

 Pindustry is a great option for groups of six to eight. This establishment offers bowling, various food options and an arcade, perfect for competitive types. Pindustry is open from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Mondays through Wednesdays and 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Thursdays. On Fridays and Saturdays, this establishment is 21 plus after 8 p.m.  

“Going to Pindustry with my friends is one of my favorite things to do,” Vivienne Joll ‘28 said.“We always end up laughing, plus they have really good pizza.” 

Another good option to go is The Museum of Illusions. What can go wrong with optical illusions, photo-ops and installations? The Museum of Illusions presents all of those and more. Opening at 10 p.m. and closing at 9 p.m, the establishment includes different rooms with colorful decorations as well as interactive illusions. 

“I went to The Museum of Illusions with my friends over the summer, and we got some really funny pictures,” Sibyl Duncan ‘28 said. “I highly recommend going. Every room has something fun and different.”  

Last but not least is K1 Speed. This option includes racing go-karts, great snacks and a fun environment to wait for your next race. K1 Speed offers four different packages for purchase. The SpeedPass involves two races, a license and a t-shirt valued at $69.99. The other passes are the three-race pass valued at $69.99, the two-race pass valued at $53.99 and the one-race pass valued at $29.99.

“I went to K1 Speed with my friends a few weeks ago, and it was a blast,” Lauryn Wilkey ‘26 said. “It was such a fun experience.” 

This establishment is open from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Monday through Thursday and 12 p.m. to 12 a.m. on Friday to Saturday.
